Emily Secord

  • Founding Partner
  • CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER
A lifelong love of learning led me to the financial industry. I was often found strategizing personal finance topics with friends and family and began reading and researching for these discussions. This led to months of studying to obtain my Securities licensing and a degree in Economics from the University of Oregon. I am an Oregonian, though I grew up in Indiana and Michigan. I'm happily married to Ian (who spends a few days a week helping out at the office) and we have two sons, Abraham and Owen, and an energetic rescue-doodle named Apple. I enjoy reading, being outdoors in good weather, camping in our R-Pod, meeting new people, snorkeling and scuba diving in warm climates, catching up with friends, and playing cards and games with my family.

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Education from Oregon State University. After a few years of teaching, I made a career change and joined my parent's office.

For over three decades I have listened and built long standing relationships with clients and their families.
